Semi-nested polymerase chain reaction for detection of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae from environmental water samples

Detection of Plasmodium falciparum Directly from Blood Samples Using the Polymerase Chain Reaction

Detection of Ureaplasma Urealyticum in Clinical Samples from Infertile Women by Polymerase Chain Reaction

Genital Ureaplasma urealyticum infection is considered to be a sexually transmitted infection. The bacterium has been found to be involved in PID, chorioamnionitis, urethritis, respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia in newborn, abortion and infertility. U. urealyticum infections not only jeopardize fertility but also pose a risk for infertility treatment and resulting pregnancies. The purp...

rapid detection of vibrio cholerae by polymerase chain reaction based on

quick identification of vibrio cholerae in epidemics is   important, on the other hand; conventional methods are time-consuming and   costly. the aim of this study was to develop a rapid, inexpensive and high   sensitivity method for quick identification of vibrio cholerae . for   this purpose we designed a pcr detection based on magnetic nanoparticles for   identification of bacterial dna by p...

Rapid polymerase chain reaction method for detection of Vibrio cholerae in foods.

The polymerase chain reaction was used to selectively amplify sequences within the cholera toxin operon from Vibrio cholerae O1. Oysters, crabmeat, shrimp, and lettuce were seeded with V. cholerae and then homogenized or washed with alkaline peptone water, followed by short-term (6- to 8-h) enrichment. A detection limit of as few as 1 V. cholerae CFU per 10 g of food was obtained with amplifica...

Multiplex Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction Assays for Simultaneous Detection of Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Vibrio vulnificus

OBJECTIVES A multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method was developed for the identification of three Vibrio species: Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Vibrio vulnificus. METHODS Specific primers and probes targeting the hlyA, tlh, and vvhA genes were selected and used for multiplex real-time PCR to confirm the identification of V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus,...
